摘要

本文在对722种语言进行调查的基础上，对咒骂否定的类型进行了概述，并对五种语言的小样本进行了详细的研究。咒骂否定在罗曼语语言学中被广泛讨论。本文调查了其在世界语言中的出现情况，并提供了从法语和普通话中收集的EN触发上下文的综合列表，并将该列表与日语，英语和Zarma-Sonrai中的EN触发进行了比较。本文提出了在这五种语言中发现的英语触发上下文相似性的语言生成和语义解释。我们认为EN触发的意义需要或强烈暗示p, p和p的激活是导致说话者产生EN的原因。确定了EN触发器的四种语义许可条件，并对每个EN触发上下文进行了语义分析。

A cross-linguistic study of expletive negation

Abstract This paper provides a typological overview of expletive negation based on a survey of 722 languages, focusing in detail on a smaller sample of five languages. Expletive negation (EN) has been discussed extensively within Romance linguistics. This paper surveys its occurrence across languages of the world and offers a comprehensive list of EN-triggering contexts collected from French and Mandarin, comparing that list with EN triggers in Januubi, English, and Zarma-Sonrai. The paper proposes a language production and semantic account of the similarity of EN-triggering contexts found in these five languages. We propose that the meaning of EN triggers entails or strongly implies ¬p and that the activation of ¬p alongside p is what leads speakers to produce EN. Four semantic licensing conditions for EN triggers are identified and each EN-triggering context is semantically analyzed.

期刊介绍： Linguistic Typology provides a forum for all work of relevance to the study of language typology and cross-linguistic variation. It welcomes work taking a typological perspective on all domains of the structure of spoken and signed languages, including historical change, language processing, and sociolinguistics. Diverse descriptive and theoretical frameworks are welcomed so long as they have a clear bearing on the study of cross-linguistic variation. We welcome cross-disciplinary approaches to the study of linguistic diversity, as well as work dealing with just one or a few languages, as long as it is typologically informed and typologically and theoretically relevant, and contains new empirical evidence.
